Whether you've lost power, your fuse box keeps tripping, you need an EICR for a rental property, or you want new sockets and lighting, we provide electrical services across Hove (BN3).
Hove has a high proportion of large Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats, together with seafront mansion blocks — properties where landlord supplies, communal lighting and older wiring are frequent sources of electrical issues.

Landlords in Hove: local licensing
- Larger houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) need a mandatory licence, and a city-wide additional licensing scheme for smaller HMOs has applied since 1 July 2024.
- A separate selective licensing scheme applies to privately rented homes in certain wards.
- Licence conditions include keeping the electrical installation safe and in working order and giving the council a declaration of electrical safety on request — a current, satisfactory EICR is the usual evidence.
- Scheme areas, fees and conditions can change, so check the council's current licensing pages before letting.
